I think it was Fabio who first prefixed this and thisform with a m-dot. First I thought he's just trying his usual impossible - improbable - imwhatever, but then seeing that it works, it started making sense. All these shortcuts (this, thisform, thisformset) are just local variables created as automatic references to certain objects, which obviously is no problem for the parser today - as it wasn't one in 1995.
